♥ It's my world

Bangkok Trip, Day 3 :)

24.04.2010

Went to Chatuchak weekend market with Baby in the morning for some shopping and he had his early lunch there with chicken rice while I have some homemade coconut ice-cream and fresh coconut juice!

*p.s I love to drink coconut juice specially those from Thailand one! LOL

*Must try the homemade coconut ice-cream*

Just when we are almost done with our shopping and was about to leave Chatuchak we saw some Military Troops rush in and there are a number of Military and Police vehicle setting up road blocks at the Chatuchak main road. I am worry sick as I'm afraid that the "Red Shirts" would come to the Market and create chaos but Baby on the other hand is so excited about what's happening around us and he wouldn't leave till he took enough pix of the Military troops, and Vehicle -.-''

After our shopping, we head back to our hotel to take a nap before Baby bring me out to a cafe at Huai Kwang Night Market for some coffee and cake ^^

Am actually very excited over it as I see how delicious everything look like but after tasting it, it is way below average standard hence not recommended. It is not difficult to spot which cafe it is as it is the only cafe in the Huai Kwang Market hence it is advisable not to waste your money there.

Baby seriously reading any updates or news on the Thailand "Red Shirts" protesters every single day during our stay in Bangkok while I just sit back and relax with a cup of the world's most awful ice latte which I later give up drinking after a few sip.

Bangkok Trip, Day 4 :)

25.04.2010

It's Chatuchak again as it is a Sunday, last day of our shopping in this Market and I seriously needs to get a big bag for all my shopping loots hence we ended up here again for more buys ^^

*That's my very handsome Baby :)

And this is yours truly. LOL

Nice pix taken by Baby without my knowledge.

After our final shopping @ Chatuchak Market, we head back to our Hotel to unload our loots before we get change and head to somewhere dangerous as suggest by Baby by the way, the following two pix was taken in the MRT of Bangkok not a real jungle or forest ya. Hex.

Baby and I transfer to Bangkok Skytrain from the MRT and the ticket for the Skytrain is exactly the type of ticket I use back in my secondary school days before the launch of ez-link card. Kinda miss those ticket tho I still kept some of it for memories ^^

Baby and I manage to catch the last Skytrain at 6pm as BTS are closing down all Skytrain station as early as 6pm due to the "Red Shirts" protesters threats to damage the Skytrain station. We were lucky that the previously closure of Silom station is open that day till 6pm as well since Silom financial district was attacked by a series of grenades on late Thursday, 22.04.2010 the day which Baby and I just arrived at Bangkok.

And yup, we headed down to the protesters site to witness history and to feel the tension there.

We have our dinner at a road side stall where a pair of young couple were selling noodles there mainly to the protesters and it is god damn nice! With so many seafood in it and it cost a mere of 30 baht only! *Faint* Definitely worth it. Baby and I wanted to get a second serving but by the time we returned the whole stall is gone! The couple has packed up and went home already :(

After filling our stomach, we head down to MBK. I do not understand why so many people recommended MBK for shopping as Baby and I find that there is nothing much to shop in it just that there are lots of shops (mainly those selling ladies shoes and bags) are selling their stuff at 199 baht. Almost every where I turned my head at the basement are big signs of 199baht.
Maybe that is the attraction but it do not appeal to me as nothing nice caught my eyes.

Took a pix of Baby before we left MBK. Look how adorable he is! Hex.

We went back to the protesters site to get some souvenir for our family and friend as they have requested us to get some stuff for them from the protesters site -.-''

After that Baby and I took a tuk tuk to the nearby Sum Lum Night Market.
Do not underestimate the legend of tuk tuk as it is indeed travelling in a fast and furious speed and the skill of lane cutting like nobody business is definitely no gimmick! LOL. I'm impressed.

Baby and I went back to our Hotel after a short 20mins stroll in the Sum Lum Night Market as there are not much tourist there and all the shop owners are very aggressive over sales. It is kinda stress as we are the only target over there hence we left there after I bought some accessories.

Bangkok Trip, Day 5

26.04.2010

Baby and I went to Silom financial district as the place has been attack by the "Red Shirts" protesters just a few days before hence it is heavily armed with Police and Military personnel at all Banks entrance despite it is closed for business. The atmosphere there is quite tense and we can see Military trucks and vehicle every where on every streets. Not far from the business district is one of the "Red Shirts" protesters camp site.

We had Bangkok's Mcdonald pork burger at Silom Center for lunch and yes, it is real pork burger from Mcdonald which it can't be found in Singapore as Mcdonald in Singapore are all halal one. For non-hahal friends, do try the pork burger if you are in Bangkok as it is really very delicious!

*p.s I force Baby to take this pix and he is so co-operative! hehe

Japanese Crepe that I had 3 of it that day! So yummy and irresistable yet so sinful because of the generous amount of whip cream in it :(

The temple that Baby and I had a hard time locating it. It's really beautiful.

And here's a poor strays that Baby and I found near our Hotel. We have been feeding it with large packet of steam hot dogs which Baby rush to buy from a nearby 7-11 store for the last 2 nights of our stay in Bangkok.

Bangkok Trip, 6th Day :(

27.04.2010

Our last breakfast at Pietra's restaurant before we left for the airport. We'll miss this nice hotel and the hotel staff there and we'll definitely go back again one day.
